GRIT, NOISE, and REVOLUTION 'The Birth Of Detroit Rock'n'roll'

by David A.Carson
(The University of Michigan Press - http://www.press.umich.edu/)

   "From the early days of John Lee Hooker to the heyday of Motown and beyond, Detroit has enjoyed a long reputation as one of the crucibles of American pop music. In Grit, Noise and Revolution, David A.Carson turns the spotlight on those hard-rocking, long-haired musicians - influenced by Detroit's R&B heritage - who ultimately helped change the face of rock'n'roll.
   Carson tells the story of some of the great garage-inspired, blue-collar Motor City rock'n'roll bands that exemplified the Detroit rock sound : The MC5, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, SRC, the Bob Seger System, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, and Grand Funk Railroad.
   An indispensable guide for rock aficionados, Grit, Noise, and Revolution features stories of these groundbreaking groups and is the first book to chronicle Detroit music of the 1960s and 70s - a pivotal era in rock music history"

LOST FROM THE OTTAWA 'The Story Of The Journey Back'

by Pun Plamondon
(www.punplamondon.com - 2004)

   "Pun Plamondon's story is a unique and compelling account of his odyssey from adopted son to White Panther Minister of Defense, FBI 10 Most Wanted List, political prisoner, alcoholic road dog and his redemption as an Odawa activist, storyteller and modern-day sage.
Many important lessons here on The Journey Back."  - John Sinclair

"NATURAL STORYTELLER
Today, Plamondon’s outlaw days are far away over the hills of time, but they still glow with the vibrancy of a master storyteller in his new book, “Lost from the Ottawa -- the Story of the Journey Back.” The lost hippie enclave of Plum Street still shimmers in his pages, as do images of the Motor City burning in the ‘67 riot and life on the run. Indeed, after a life of misadventure, that’s just what Plamondon, 59, has become: an Ottawa elder and storyteller reunited with his lost heritage."  -Robert Downes
